  1. 1. The /k/s, the /t/s, and the inbetweens : Novel approaches to examining the perceptual consequences of misarticulated speech

    Författare :Sofia Strömbergsson; David House; Åsa Wengelin; Benjamin Munson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; speech perception; speech disorders; speech synthesis; speech analysis; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises investigations of the perceptual consequences of children’s misarticulated speech – as perceived by clinicians, by everyday listeners, and by the children themselves. By inviting methods from other areas to the study of speech disorders, this work demonstrates some successful cases of cross-fertilization. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis studies disfluency in spontaneous Swedish speech, i.e., the occurrence of hesitation phenomena like eh, öh, truncated words, repetitions and repairs, mispronunciations, truncated words and so on. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production

    Författare :Saeed Dabbaghchian; Olov Engwall; Sidney Fels; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vocal tract; upper airway; speech production; biomechanical model; acoustic model; vocal tract reconstruction; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Sammanfattning : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evaluation of nasal speech : a study of assessments by speech-language pathologists, untrained listeners and nasometry

    Författare :Karin Brunnegård; Jan van Doorn; Anette Lohmander; Fiona Gibbon; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypernasality; auditory perceptual evaluation; reliability; nasometer; nasalance; Logopedics and phoniatrics; Logopedi och foniatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Excessive nasal resonance in speech (hypernasality) is a disorder which may have negative communicative and social consequences for the speaker. Excessive nasal resonance is often associated with cleft lip and palate, velopharyngeal impairment, dysarthria or hearing impairment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hearing and cognition in speech comprehension. Methods and applications

    Författare :Mathias Hällgren; Stig Arlinger; Birgitta Larsby; Arne Leijon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aging; physiology; cognition; cognition disorders; dichotic listening tests; hearing loss; sensorineural; neuropsychological tests; speech perception; Audiology; Audiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Central auditory processing is complex and can not be evaluated by a single method. This thesis focuses on assessment of some aspects of central auditory functions by the use of dichotic speech tests and cognitive tests that tax functions important for speech processing. LÄS MER
